Please for people looking for less trimester school fees ,i will advise you to try University of New England and probably you can pay about $9k for trimester 1 school fees and about Australian Qualification Framework ,please i will say something on this later.

I think the international students may apply after the postgraduate if only you meet up with all the requirement for PR and your job is among the among the shortage skill in Australia at the periods you wish to apply.
The most crucial things is that check the skillselect for further details

Generally , its rough and I will say this honestly leaving your home to another country is a big a challenge and anybody coming to Australia must have this at the back of their mind that the road is rough and joy at the end.

However , for another challenge in the area of courses and PR I must say this any 9ija students coming should please check the International office very well and may be ask question about scholarships mostly for science students. i have seen a lot of 9ija with scholarship and they are doing fine.

@ tyrexx probably you can check me 66,Niagara just take taxi and ask for the street.Please be very careful about spending because I have same experience don't rush to buy things please and I think you bring enough 9ija food because you cant get it in Armidale except Sydney and which is about 8hrs journey.

May almighty God help everyone of us I am ready to assist any 9ija coming to Australia and help Jenny our mother in the house may God bless you and bless 9ija.

@tyrexx I rang your 9ija line to actually know ur arrival tym , I booked a room for you at smith house and I left smith house yesterday for my own apartment .Ask any 9ija you see and ask about Bash . I just left smith house and smith house is good for you please since you are not a family man.Welcome to Armidale city of cold and calm.

I will post my experience when I settled down in my own apartment ,but presently its very difficult to get accommodation as a family ,the aussie real estate agent protocols are tu much I jst want everybody to get prepared for the challenge.Honestly,its good to be in Australia very beautiful and enough job for students to support yourself.

@dimtrik you have to come with your wish cash ,just have enough cash with u when yu ar coming.If you are first timer traveler pls beware of Nija immigration at Lagos they may stress you and jst have some tips with you .

thank jennykenny I will surely stick to your advise .
@zion you may follow Ethiad Airways or Emirate whichever one are good to go ,note that you need to pray for God favor as par BTA I think nobody asked about BTA at Airport I only declared the cash I have since is over 10,000 USD
@Kenny Sydney Airport is one the best in universe and the immigration officer are friendly.

As par accommodation in Armidale ,presently when I know the exact time tyrex arrival he may just be fixed in Smith House I will actually confirm the cost of a room but I am currently paying 250dollars simply because of my family but I am trying to sort out my accommodation 2bedroom flat at queens Elizabeth drive at 220 dollars partially furnished,i don't think there is problem in getting accommodation .
This to anybody coming to Armidale please try to change your money at Sydney Airport and may be you sleep at Sydney and join train to Armidale the following day however,from Sydney to Armidale is about 8hrs plus with train ,Armidale is relatively cold and try to buy enough naija food ,I can assure you jst be bold with Immigration they are very friendly with us when I arrive and answer them all what they request if you don't understand try to ask them any question they are helpful.

i arrived Australia safely ,I thank lord jesus for everything he has done in my life.God is gr8.All Nigerians in ARmidale City are did a wonderful job by welcoming me and making me feel at home and we are looking for more nija in Armidale City which is d coldest part of Australia.
